I do think we have a lot of talent all over the pitch bar centre forward, we only really have Kane as an out and out striker, It will be interesting to see how Oli Watkins goes this season and if he can continue to score lots of goals, I'm yet to be convinced by Calvert-Lewin.
Outside chance could be Ivan Toney, be interesting to see how he gets on next season he could be another option.
And Emile Smith Rowe is one to surely come into Southgate's plans, he's not a striker but was brilliant last season in that 10 role. |  |

My big concern is central midfield - I feel that’s where we lost the game yesterday and, with Henderson ageing, Rice developing and Phillips is the great but not world class category we are short of options on the controlling side of the game.
Yes, if Kane is injured, we have a serious issue there as it stands but the same goes for Maguire T the back unless Gomez can find his previous form post injury. |  |

Although Tyrone done himself no harm when he started the first couple. | |

Jude Bellingham could well be a consideration by then.
To be fair I think Rice and Phillips have been excellent. |  |

Mason Greenwood was looking a great prospect, and very clinical.
Hopefully he can find form again and develop. | |

Ah, yes good point, I'd completely forgotten about him, but great shout. | |

I think we certainly have the players plus strength in depth.
My concern is Southgate himself - needs to react quicker tactically - but hopefully this will come with greater experience. |  | | |

it's a learning curve for everyone including Southgate, I have no doubt he has the minerals and gravitas to look at his own performance and see where he could have done better.
Everyone will benefit from last night, it's raw right now but it will fire up the belly for next year. | |

said after one of the games when Bellingham came on (either Germany or Ukraine can't remember) that they will both have to keep performing at a high level because as soon as he gets in i can't see anyone dislodging him, immense player potentially. |  | | |

Second most successful England national manager in history.
Tactics have been superb throughout the tournament.
He will identify what he could improve, and will act on it. No worries about Southgate at all. | |

I work for a German company and most of them are Dortmund fans even a few Bayern and they are completely gobsmacked that Sancho and Bellingham aren't in the starting eleven.
It's hard to make a case as I rarely watch German games. | |

Bellingham was 17 when the tournament started, and Rice and Phillips hardly put a foot wrong.
No eyebrows would have been raised if Sancho started more games, but we are not short of talent in those areas. [Post edited 12 Jul 2021 12:20]

I last watched a reasonable amount of german football during the first season sancho was there (3 or 4 years ago?) and you could see he had something although was more of a wide midfield player than an outside forward/winger type. Only seen bits of Bellingham but he's top class. | | | |

England were the only team to feature in the last World Cup semi finals (which consisted of 4 European teams) and these Euros semi finals too, going one step further this time of course.
With that kind of consistency, and the age of most of the squad, there's no reason we shouldn't be there or thereabouts again at the World Cup again next year. |  |

Hes not at the level required just yet, very good player but a fair bit behind Stones and Maguire, who have both been outstanding. I think Gomez will certainly come back in to the squad as long as he recovers from his injury. | | | |

depends on the draw (and whether we make it or not at the risk of being called arrogant by everyone else in the world) | | | |

We should make it... we've won all 3 games so far in qualifying. I'm not sure we're likely to mess up to miss out. | |

I would like us to try a more attacking system in qualifying, a 433 with say Rice with Mount and Foden either side of him in midfield, I think getting more creative players into the team will play to our strengths better |  |

A valid point re heat but having just watched the Copa America final, there is nothing much to fear from the present day Brazil or Argentina |  |

Yep, neither looked like they had anything to strike fear, Argentina have an ageing squad hoping for one last swansong. | |

| We have an issue as you state with Kane on 14:03 - Jul 12 with 1362 views | unstableblue |
Kane is that world class striker you need to win the big games...
He was poor earlier in the tournament... but once he got the goal he was flying... and I thought he was being really effective (if a little deep) first half against Italy
If he is injured or out of form in Qatar we have a problem.... |  |

| Moving on to Qatar on 14:05 - Jul 12 with 1358 views | itfcjoe |
Yep, there are a couple of weaker areas, and areas where the drop off is so vast - hopefully some players come to the fore in next year or so. |  |
